High output single-coil-size "rails" humbucker. Great for classic rock, garage, punk, heavy rock, thrash, classic metal and nu-metal.

Delivers a fat, full sound with incredible output. The powerful ceramic magnet, two steel blades and over-wound coils all combine to provide a heavy, raw, distorted tone with incredible sustain. Compared to the Little '59, Hot Rails has more output and a chunkier mid-range. Comes in black only with four-conductor cable.

complete setup
Now available in a new neck version as well as a bridge version. Matches well with a hot distortion pedal like the SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem or the SFX-08 Power Grid

guitars
For all well-balanced instruments. Works equally well with maple and rosewood fingerboards.

players
Troy Van Leeuwen / Queens of the Stone Age, Mike Stern, John 5 / Marilyn Manson & Rob Halford, Joe Trohman / Fall Out Boy

Vintage-correct reproduction of 1954 Tele® lead pickup. Perfect for traditional country, country pop, chicken pickin', rockabilly, blues, and blues-rock.

description
Like the 1954 originals, this pickup features standard .187" diameter Alnico 5 pole pieces, raised for the "D" and "G" strings. The result is a twangy, bright and biting sound. Compared the STL-1b, the Vintage '54 has slightly reduced output and a bright and biting high-end detail. Comes with waxed cloth hookup cable.

complete setup
Available in lead (bridge) position only. The STR-1 is the correct match in the rhythm (neck) position.

guitars
Gary Allan, Nick Hoffman / Kenny Chesney, Rick McRae / George Strait, Stephen Bruton / The Resentments, Jonny Wickersham / Social Distortion
